apparently, i've heared it had roots in Haiti, then was brought by someone to Alaska where my friend was visiting, then this friend brought it to Rwanda where I was and we continued teaching it...not knowing what it was. if you can help me understand this at all please post a message on my website: www.getjealous.com/lindsaypark April 09, 2009 tania gardere macleod said...

my grandmother sang it to all 7 of her children and all grandchildren and great grandchildren! luckily it's something i was able to hear her sing over and over through out the years. my mom and dad also sang me to sleep with this song. and now i sing to my four children. so far, it has been all of their first word! my girls all sing to their baby dolls! it's precious. i love this song. always makes me think of my wonderful family.
